Components have become increasingly complex. CAD systems are an indispensable tool for engineers that enable them to perform increasingly demanding tasks efficiently, cost effectively and safely.
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.
From Wikipedia
OPEN MIND’s hyperMILL® CAM software can be integrated with two of the leading CAD programs: Autodesk® Inventor® and SOLIDWORKS. However, since CAM programmers are the main target group and CAM programmers work very differently with CAD systems to designers or engineers, OPEN MIND also offers its own CAD solution that allows CAD models to be prepared in the best possible way for efficient NC programming: hyperCAD®-S CAD software. From the very beginning, the developers of the software have concentrated on CAD functions for CAM programmers.
hyperCAD®-S allows large amounts of data to be imported seamlessly from the most important CAD programs. The CAD software from OPEN MIND provides the CAM user with numerous interfaces for a high level of inter-operability. There are different modules in hyperCAD®-S to satisfy the varying needs of users.
